Sixteenth Century Greensleeves
It's only been an hour
Since he locked her in the tower
The time has come
He must be undone by the morning
Many times before
The tyrant's opened up the door
Someone cries
Still we close our eyes, not again
Meet me when the sun is in the western sky
The fighting must begin before another someone dies
Crossbows in the firelight
Greensleeves waving
Mad men raving
Through the shattered night, yeah
Flames are getting higher
Make it leap unto the spire
Drawbridge down
Cut it to the ground
We shall dance around the fire
No more night
We have seen the light
Let it shine on bright
Hang him higher, higher
Drawbridge down
Cut it to the ground
We shall dance around, around the fire
No, the fire
No more night
We have seen the light
Let it shine on bright
Hang him higher, higher
Put a man on the fire
Drawbridge down
Cut it to the ground
We're going to dance around the fire
The fire, the fire
Since he locked her in the tower
The time has come
He must be undone by the morning
Many times before
The tyrant's opened up the door
Someone cries
Still we close our eyes, not again
Meet me when the sun is in the western sky
The fighting must begin before another someone dies
Crossbows in the firelight
Greensleeves waving
Mad men raving
Through the shattered night, yeah
Flames are getting higher
Make it leap unto the spire
Drawbridge down
Cut it to the ground
We shall dance around the fire
No more night
We have seen the light
Let it shine on bright
Hang him higher, higher
Drawbridge down
Cut it to the ground
We shall dance around, around the fire
No, the fire
No more night
We have seen the light
Let it shine on bright
Hang him higher, higher
Put a man on the fire
Drawbridge down
Cut it to the ground
We're going to dance around the fire
The fire, the fire
